+1 on the nylon strap, two or three would help

+1 on checking for valence rub.  After pushing two non-Roadsters in the
soaking mud, and then realizing the need for tow assist, most cars have this
issue

+1 on clear communications, whom ever is in the Roadster should really use the
'jedi force' to make sure that they arent on the brakes when the towstrap is
fully taut.

I know it's just a mile down the road and you probably won't have any issues
with the tow, but a tow dolly from uhaul is $45 for in-town hauls if you have
any hesitations.

Any Hesitations?? If you are over 17 years old you are CRAZY to tow a car on a
public road on a strap. The damage to the frame,the liability,the
stupidity,the possible rear end damage to the tow car. What if the car breaks
loose and you hit a kid? Spend the $45 bucks and act responsible or hire a
flat bed.

Thanks for all your suggestions.  After crawling under the car and looking for
a good place to connect the strap, I am convinced that every connection point
is either too weak or the strap would place an excess amount of force on a
nearby object, sway bar, valence, radiator air scoop, etc.  The flat bed is
arriving this afternoon.

Cheers,
Alan

Hi,

I need to tow my roadster about a mile down the road to a mechanic for some
engine work.  What is the best place to attach the tow strap on the roadster?
Other advice regarding the tow (other than legal) is also welcome.

Cheers,
Alan

I've towed roadsters by using a tow strap with a snap hook on one end. Snap the hook around the sway bar on the outside of the support tower. Tow slowly. For non emergency stops let the roadster driver apply the brakes and stop both vehicles. That prevents running over the strap. It also keeps tension on the strap so that when you start out again the tow vehicle does not jerk the roadster.

When transporting my roadster by trailer, I run the chain around the front crossmember. Works well when the chain and chain binder is then secured to the trailer. I do not know if towing would cause the chain to rub the front valence, it might. Another probably better option is a nylon tow strap also secured around the front cross member. Good luck, Dewey

I've seen Roadsters towed by removing the front bumper and brackets, and 
then attaching a bar to a custom made bracket that is bolted to the 
frame where the bumper brackets were removed from.

Since it's only 4 bolts to attach the two brackets, and these points are 
attached directly to the frame, this looked like a sound way to tow. 

NOW, this rig used a tow BAR, not a strap.  Thus no issue of 'slack" or 
of rear ending the tow car.

Be careful of that. Back in my racing days before I got a trailer I used to 
flat tow with a tow bar that attached to those  tabs on the frame that held 
the bumper brackets. little did I know that they are weak and will develop 
cracks and eventually rip off. Never got that far, but after noticing the 
cracks I scrounged up the cash for a used trailer.  Later found out that 
this was a sort of know weak point.

I have one of those tow bars. If you use one, don't just rely on those four
bolts. Pass an additional couple bolts or chains though frame holes just in
case the mounting bracket welds tear away from the frame. I have heard of
those welds breaking free from others who have flat-towed with tow bars.

  Wrap a rope around the roll bar a few times and hold on to the loose end.
That way you can always let go if you want to get away from the tow vehicle.

  Wait a minute, ... that's on the race track, not on the street.

Since you are getting this new tow unit welded, a little extra of having a
parallel plate welded to the frame and the sway bar towers makes for a nice
combination of strength and rigidity not only for the tow unit but for your
bumper too.  Yeah, yeah, I know, the bumper is made from GI beer cans and
bends when you step on it.

Peter,
I run the Falken Azenis RT-615 on 5.5" rims.  I race 'em and they stick pretty
good, yet have a 200 treadwear.  can't say anything bad about them.  Haven't
run them in the rain, but they have deep grooves.

But I suppose if you want 'tyres' you'd have to go Avon!

I've used a strap around the front lower frame, had to remove the radiator
drain to avoid damage to the radiator.

In the past I saw a roadster with the sway bar tower pulled off from a bad
tow.

Now I have a two wheel dolly, and a wench at the top of the pickup bed to pull
the car onto the dolly, again I use the lower frame.

I take issue with the car boat claim.  If it needs a trailer to get to the  
water it's just an ugly boat.

There's actually some company out there that does these conversions. I
remember a video going around last year, but don't remember what car they
used.

Oh could you imagine how embarrasing it would be if you show up at a party
with your Saab 9H2O and there are three more just like it!  Oh my!



Dairyland Saab boats anyone?

Progress!

Making some progress on the '68, onto the interior. New seat covers look easy
enough to get, but Dean said he didn't have the foam. If I'm tearing them down
I'd just as soon as replace that, too. Plus, they're shot. I know I COULD cut
my own, but isn't there someone with pre-cut new ones? Or, should I go to a
local pro?

IIRC from several 311s.org discussions, some folks have cut their own;
others took it to upholstery shop. Don't recall anyone selling precut
padding.

 Here in the big city, we have Foam shops. If you can find one you can get any
density, thickness etc and maybe they will cut it for you or you can use an
electric carving knife to get it just right.

When I've rebuilt seats, I used an electic carving knife I bought at a garage
sale.  Works like a charm and I'm able to use foam of my choice. 
 I've been
told that foam suppliers will cut cushions for you if your old ones are in
good enough shape to copy. 
 It seems like I always want to make a change
(firmer bolsters for example or different foam density for the back and the
seat) and it's easy to do.  Custom upholstery shops often use a very firm foam
for the core and then cover the core with a softer foam so it's nice
and plush.   Once you've whittled the foam to rough shape, a 40 grit
sanding disk will smooth any sharp edges.  The foam tends to confom to the
upholstery so it doesn't have to be perfect.  
You can make the seat from a
simple rectangle, then whittle separate bolsters and contact cement the
bolsters to the seat foam.  Once the seat is assembled, the cushions stay in
place very well so the glue only has to hold together for assembly (you don't
need much). 
.  If you break down the seat cushion into simple shapes, you'll
see it would be pretty easy.  Of course, modern factory seat foams are cast
but you can do a very nice job on the simple roadster seats. 
 
Thanks,  Dan

IIRC from several 311s.org
discussions, some folks have cut their own;
others took it to upholstery shop.
Don't recall anyone selling precut
padding.

Progress!

Making some progress on the '68, onto the interior. New seat
covers look
easy
enough to get, but Dean said he didn't have the foam. If I'm
tearing them
down
I'd just as soon as replace that, too. Plus, they're shot. I
know I COULD
cut
my own, but isn't there someone with pre-cut new ones? Or,
should I go to a
local pro?

Thanks

Hi Al,
 When you say BRE wheels ,are you talking about what was used on the BRE  Roadsters and 240 Z  cars ? If so ,these Where Not BRE wheels ,but were made by American Racing Wheels (ARE) .
The Wheels they used where Only made in 14x 7 inch's . Since your on the Roadster Forum ,I would assume that you are possibly involved with a Racing project ,as this wheel size will not fit a stock body car .The Other wheels also made by American Racing Wheel used on a lot of Z cars ,Roadsters, and Datsun 510's was called the "Libra" and it was made in 14"x 5.5 ,14' x 7 ,13x 5" ,and 13x7" .The 13x7" were used on the BRE 2.5 Trans Am 510 .The Difference in the Wheel used in the BRE C Production Z cars wheels ,if I remember ,is that those may have been Real Mags ..Those are VERY RARE and expensive ,if you even can find a set .I have looked for years and have never been able to get Anybody that has a set they use ,part with them .There is now a NEW Reproduction wheel made of the Libras ,if that is what you want ,as this was another Very popular Wheel used both on the Street and Race track . Originals of them are more plentiful ,and have commanded reasonable prices in the Used market .  

BTW ,Some of the MG -B's Raced in the 70's had the Early Race wheels also .,same bolt pattern .

Good Luck , 
Streve  Ehlers

Just got a silver one from hobby house in burbank $100 including tax out of
the door. Beautiful model, highly detailed, with even a little rod to hold the
bonnet open.

Questions
what year
are the side markers correct - i.e. only front tear drops
are dual brake cylinders correct
was the jack originally orangeish
seat belts look after market ?? - certainly would crush your spine if
installed in reality

still a lovely model with poseable wheels, opening boot, bonnet, doors -
highly detailed dash & gauges, steering wheel etc. just  a beaut
now if only they would make a left hand drive 1600 in Sora Blue

I put a new set into the Roadster for the second half of the drive home from MidOhio last week. When I pulled them to check (replace) them, they were pretty bad. 

My question is this: Since these plugs have less than 500 miles on them, now that I have fixed the timing and re-set my carbs, can I clean them up and continue to use them? Or once they are carboned up, are they shot?

Message-ID: <AANLkTikUD6b0m8M-PR0RwKIwUVjPJ2XfbHIfiVcclmfa@mail.gmail.com>

Ibve decided to sell my b70 2000 (SRL13606). Just not driving it much,
plus once we get our new house finished and we moved I wonbt have
inside storage for some time. Ibd prefer to pass it on to someone to
enjoy and take care of rather than let it sit and deteriorate. Good to
very good condition. Runs good and gets decent mileage. Distributor is
a Gary Boone breakerless conversion. Custom 2 1/4 inch exhaust
installed last spring.

The car is currently silver, but has been painted a couple of times.
Ibm not sure about the original color. The body is solid with a couple
of small rust spots at the rear wheel wells. The interior is basically
bare, but very clean. The seats are good although the outside bolster
on the driverbs seat is worn through. I have a new carpet kit (not yet
installed) and most of the interior trim panels. A new canvas top was
professionally installed last spring and there's a new canvas tonneau.
Wheels are 15 x 6 PanaSports with virtually new Generals. Ibm pretty
sure the car has comp springs. Shocks are KYB Gas Adjust. Therebs a
trunk mounted Optima battery. The electrics are in good shape.

The car took 2nd place in the Classic Datsun/Nissan class at the Texas
Z Nationals in San Antonio last year. There are a bunch of additional
bits including an extra 5-speed, two U-20 heads, the OEM steel wheels
with Semperits (decent shape but indeterminate age) and dog dish wheel
covers, a couple of extra sway bars, a roll bar, a CDM/BRE Spook and
miscellaneous other pieces. Tons of documentation including the
Motorbooks Factory Service Manual and the Scott Sheeler Roadster 2
book set plus much more. I also have a couple of 4' x 6' laminated
color wiring diagrams. One of the stock '70 electrical system, the
other from an earlier year that includes details on several of the
more common electrical system upgrades.

The car is a good, fun driver now (in more moderate climates!), and
definitely a solid foundation for a frame off/update if desired. I
dropped a picture of the car into the intro slide show on my photo
site <www.ronday63.zenfolio.com>. Car is in Central Texas, roughly 75
miles NE of Austin

Asking price is $7500

As others have said, both square holes go on the bottom. Additionally, one
of the shoes will have the lining closer to the square hole than the other.
That's the leading shoe.

What does demister mean in American English? Windshield washer? 

<http://www.carpartsmanual.com/Datsun311Index/Electrical/WindshieldWasher/ta
bid/232/Default.aspx>

If so, never heard of paper water tubing. Where did you get that
information?

Regardless, if it is the windshield washer, then any rubber or clear vinyl
tubing of the correct inside diameter should work.

  Pete,

Demister = defogger, or in plain English, the vents on top of the dash 
that blow heated air on the windshield. There are paper/aluminum foil 
ducts that connect the vents to the heater box.

Peace,
Pat

I used the paper/metal flexible tubing used on the older cars that took air 
from around the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner inlet horn.  Called Hot 
Air Pickup, The 510's even have them.  Got mine at the local Auto Parts 
store, a universal fit type of thing.  Comes in various sizes and lengths. 
Very flexible, and can be stretched enough to get 2 from 1.

Subject: [Roadsters] 44PHH2 Type Q fuel leak
Message-ID: <4C335693.5020506@RWMann.com>

 From out of the blue I am experiencing fuel system issues.  Car had not 
been run since last Fall, first wouldn't start (lack of fuel, traced as 
noted below), ran well for a couple of laps around town, then picked up 
a stumble and a carb/fuel leak from one of the old style 44PHH2 Type Q 
Mikunis.

Remaining issue is a cylinder out/slow throttle response while running, 
accompanied by a significant raw fuel leak out of the #4 (rear-most 
rear) carb throat after shutdown and most likely the cause of the 
cylinder-out while running condition.  Stuck float valve or sunk float, 
perhaps?  (For insurance, I run one in-line filter before the fuel pump, 
two in-line filters after the pump, plus the banjo fitting mesh screen, 
so I wonder what it could be that got by all that filtration.)

Also, is anyone seeing the "new gas" (high alcohol content) causing 
rapid deterioration in fuel system gaskets?   Had to rebuild the fuel 
pump due to a piece of debris (looked like solid varnish) stuck in a 
body valve.  In the process, went from no fuel delivery to the fuel leak 
noted above.

TIA for suggestions/recommendations.

Overflow from the old-style carbs can often be traced to a too-high fuel 
level caused by a needle not sealing properly.  There have been some 
rather ordinary replacement needle/seat sets around that don't have the 
spring-loaded needle stem.  These don't seem to have much of a life - 
hope you don't have them.  If you have a replacement needle and seat, 
I'd give that a try, or, swap them between the carbs to find out if the 
problem shifts too.  Sometimes the smallest piece of crud that's almost 
invisible can cause poor sealing and then overflow and it can be a bit 
difficult to dislodge the culprit.  Compressed air can work but not 
always - a clear insect wing part about 1mm square gave me the same 
symptoms.  No idea how it got past the filters or how long it had been 
in the system before causing a problem.
If you take off the jet cover, you can check the fuel level - it is 
meant to be 20mm above the centre of the main bore when the fuel 
pressure is about 3.5 psi.  As long as it's not above the top of the 
venturi, it's probably pretty close.  Adjustment is by selecting seat 
washers of appropriate thickness.  My guess - the needle is the problem.

(There is another source of rich running caused by a repairable issue in 
the internal start circuit of the old-style carbs, but that doesn't 
result in overflow)

Regards,
Eric in Townsville

 I had some fuel flow issues recently and wondered about the gas also, even
though my car is driven once a week.

As others have said, both square holes go on the bottom. Additionally, one
of the shoes will have the lining closer to the square hole than the other.
That's the leading shoe.

Should BOTH the square holes be at the bottom, or should they be diagonally
opposite?

When I last ran my Roadster, it was still not running right. I had set the timing, 
re- balanced the carbs, and fixed the fuel mixture**. After this, it seemed to be running well pulling strong through all the gears with no ping or misses. Then, at about 75 or 80 mph, it started to do the hesitation/miss thing again it was doing last week (when I was about half way home from MidOhio -- I posted about this as you might remember). Based on what I had read, I figured it was running lean so I pulled off the road (a few times--this was last Sunday) and each during each stop slowly adjusted the knobs and ended up just under a quarter turn to richen the mixture. After the first and subsequent stops, it was again spitting/bucking/running rough; too rich now I assume. I went home, re-set the fuel mixture back to where it was above**. I was still not able to get the spitting and bucking to stop.

At this point it was getting too hot for me, both under the hood, in my head, as well as outside so I parked the car. This is where I am at and have not looked at the car since last Sunday. 

When I had checked/"fixed" the timing last week while in Indiana, I do not think I had done it right: The timing light I was lent was of the fancy variety with a setting knob that I must have not used correctly. When I used my light at home, the timing was up over 30 degrees of advance. I am now set at 16 degrees on a de-smogged 70 1600 running a GB EI dizzy. 

Any thoughts please.

Tim,
Are you sure that it is a fuel problem and not ignition? If this car has stock ignition I'd start with Point Dwell, then condenser, then points, then coil. It would be cool if you could get the car on an ignition scope and see what's going on at high RPM.

Message-ID: <AANLkTilFc7UCRUzcINL4FuW5Ij5Od2Y1RlxY0i9Ev9ns@mail.gmail.com>

I read through last August's threads on GL-4 vs GL-5 oil for roadster
transmissions.  Unfortunately, I'm finding GL-4 pretty hard to find.
I did run across some but it was 'apparently' spec'd for GL-4 OR GL-5
and it was $38/quart (yikes!).  I can have some Pennzoil 75W90 (?)
GL-4 ordered in.  It's more like $15/quart... still nasty expensive,
but much better.

What do most people use?
Is synthetic ok for an old tranny (not recently rebuilt)?
If so, which one?

I had mentioned that I am running a GB EI dizzy (Gary Boone Electronic Dizzy) so no points or dwell. I have been running this set up for over two years with no problems until last week. A new coil was installed as part of this upgrade.

GB EI dizzy=Gary Boone Electronic Ignition distributor

So, no point or condenser. Doesn't eliminate the coil failing at high rpm's.

When you check the plugs, are they all the same?

At this point it was getting too hot for me, both under the hood, in my

not looked at the car since last Sunday.

When I had checked/"fixed" the timing last week while in Indiana, I do not
think I had done it right: The timing light I was lent was of the fancy
variety with a setting knob that I must have not used correctly. When I used
my light at home, the timing was up over 30 degrees of advance. I am now set
at 16 degrees on a de-smogged 70 1600 running a GB EI dizzy.

Any thoughts please.

Thanks

Dunno what's available north of the border, but I found GL-4 at Napa. Forget
if it was Napa-brand or Sta-Lube. IIRC, someone contacted Valvoline, and
they said their GL-4/GL-5 gear oil won't hurt our older transmissions.

As for synthetic, folks report being happy with Redline MTL and Amsoil. May
or may not work for you depending on the age of your seals.

Subject: [Roadsters] Transmission oil options for U20

I read through last August's threads on GL-4 vs GL-5 oil for roadster
transmissions.  Unfortunately, I'm finding GL-4 pretty hard to find.
I did run across some but it was 'apparently' spec'd for GL-4 OR GL-5
and it was $38/quart (yikes!).  I can have some Pennzoil 75W90 (?)
GL-4 ordered in.  It's more like $15/quart... still nasty expensive,
but much better.

What do most people use?
Is synthetic ok for an old tranny (not recently rebuilt)?
If so, which one?

Tim,
You mentioned in  your original post about this problem, that you had 
installed newly rebuilt Z-Therapy carbs. I've heard that at one time there 
were problems with their carbs if they installed Grose-Jet fuel float valves 
(on Datsun Roadsters, anyway). Apparently, they can and have caused the very 
symptoms you describe, due to some kind of vibration problem. I have not 
ever used Z-Therapy carbs or Grose-Jet valves, but I thought I'd pass this 
on. It  might be worth checking out. The Grose-Jet valve uses a ball, looks 
like a stainless steel BB. You'll know right away if you check it. More info 
about this issue is found on the 311s.org and has been discussed on the 311s 
forum.

 Red Line synthetic MTL 70W - 80 is GL-4, their 75W - 90 Hypoid gear oil for 
differentials is GL-5. I use both in my E46 BMW and I actually noticed a 
difference in the smoothness of shifting compared to the  "lifetime" OEM 
synthetic. I have them in the roadster too,  it hasn't run since the oil was 
changed, but no noticeable dripping at least while stationary.

 I've had similar problems, the solution was to tighten the spade lugs at the
coil, distributor and where the ballast resistor used to be. The spade lugs
were loose and not making a good connection.

You probably won't be able to get the exact part, except possibly
through NAPA, but on my 510s I used the big Mallory condensers that
look like about half a roll of quarters. To get an idea of what these
things do, you might want to check out "Ignition System" on Wikipeda.

On closer examination, the post-shutdown fuel overflow is from both

Now, to get the covers off for inspection without damaging the gaskets....

Tim,

Are you referring to the ballast resistor?  If so it provides a voltage drop
so you don't get a full 12-13 volts across the points causing them to pit and
burn prematurely.
If you have an electronic dizzy you shouldn't be using a ballast resistor.

Well, it seems that one of the floats has fallen off the fork, thus 
reducing the flotation to work the valve by 50%.  

Valve itself seems fine.  No crud in the banjo filters or bowl.  
Completely clean, in fact.

The working end of the small mounting tang inserted in the float body 
seems to have corroded/dissolved just below the surface of the float.

Anyone seen this before?  Ethanol in the "new fuel", perhaps?

I thing the condenser mounted above the coil was a radio noise suppressor.

No, I am not using a ballest resistor; (rectangular in shape about three inches long, correct?). I am referring to the inch long tube like part that connects to the positive terminal of the coil.

I am talking about/referring to the little cylinder looking part that mounts
ight above the coil.
I cannot find a part number for it in any of my books or online.
Is this piece a condenser? Or considered part of the coil.
Thanks

The ignition resistor is the three inch long part that mounts under the coil. That is the part that I thought was the radio noise supressor. 

I have not been running the ignition resistor as a result of this (self) confusion but the car has been running fine with out the ignition resistor. Should I put it back on the car?

Tim,

The part in question is another capacitor (condenser) used as a noise
suppression device (shunts high frequency noise on the ignition circuit to
ground)- as someone said, to take noise off the radio circuit.  Car should
run
fine without one.  Could run poorly (or not at all) if it is degraded or
shorted.

To test it, you need an old analog ohm meter (not digital), set it on the
lowest
ohm setting and when you measure between the lead and the case, it should
look
like a short circuit immediately and then charge up to a high ohm value.
Also,
suggest testing with the device hot.

Easier just to disconnect it, especially if you suspect that it is bad

Joe

No, I am not using a ballest resistor; (rectangular in shape about three
inches
long, correct?). I am referring to the inch long tube like part that connects
to
the positive terminal of the coil.

UPDATE

A drop of crazy glue on the mounting point, light clamp, reassemble, 
voila! 

No leaks, Solex performance!  (Until the crazy glue fix fails.)

Anyone have a float assembly and a starter return spring standoff 
(mounts to top of cover) for a Type Q?

Message-ID: <20100710145252.05O3D.6307236.root@mp13>

I have replaced the plug wires as I was told they looked beat even though I had replaced them last year, I put a new rotor on, cleaned up the cap and ordered new (my new ones only fit a stock dizzy), removed the radio noise condenser as I was told if it is bad it will affect performance, and double checked the timing, plugs and carbs. 

Car seems to run fine until I am, again, at very high speed. Once the engine is totally heated up, I seem to get slight hesitation (missing?) around 80+ mph. After this last run at speed, plugs looked good by the way.

Am I possibly at the top end of the motor's capability at this point? Could this be why I am getting this slight hesitation? 

Can it be possible that my (less than four year old) coil is failing at high temps & speed?

Thanks again.

Tim

When I last ran my Roadster, it was still not running right. I had set the timing,
re- balanced the carbs, and fixed the fuel mixture**. After this, it seemed to be running well pulling strong through all the gears with no ping or misses. Then, at about 75 or 80 mph, it started to do the hesitation/miss thing again it was doing last week (when I was about half way home from MidOhio -- I posted about this as you might remember). Based on what I had read, I figured it was running lean so I pulled off the road (a few times--this was last Sunday) and each during each stop slowly adjusted the knobs and ended up just under a quarter turn to richen the mixture. After the first and subsequent stops, it was again spitting/bucking/running rough; too rich now I assume. I went home, re-set the fuel mixture back to where it was above**. I was still not able to get the spitting and bucking to stop.

At this point it was getting too hot for me, both under the hood, in my head, as well as outside so I parked the car. This is where I am at and have not looked at the car since last Sunday.

When I had checked/"fixed" the timing last week while in Indiana, I do not think I had done it right: The timing light I was lent was of the fancy variety with a setting knob that I must have not used correctly. When I used my light at home, the timing was up over 30 degrees of advance. I am now set at 16 degrees on a de-smogged 70 1600 running a GB EI dizzy.

Any thoughts please.

Thanks

Tim,
The motor should pull up the point it can't anymore but should not start to miss. Could be the coil. Can you get it tested?

 Roadster Gang,



Do KYB gas-adjust get installed strut up or strut down? If you look at the
Brand label it would be shaft up but there is no cover to stop to dirt
biulding up on the top of the shock body.

Also how does one go about adjusting these?



cheers

Yes, thanks. I finally figured it all out. I don't need, what turned out to be, the radio noise suppressor. When I installed the EI dizzy, there was no mention of that part. 

If you look at the shop manuals and part books (I have several), the part I was worrying about is SHOWN, but there is no part number listed. Any one have a book that shows this part with a Nissan number?

I still have the same issues going on by the way......

 Tim, don't get too hung up on a genuine P/N for the noise suppressor.
Any Car Audio shop will have these if you want to fit a new device.
However they are usually only fitted to the coil with the Kettering [points]
type ignition.
You should have a suppressor fitted to the Alternator output terminal as
well.
This device will stop brush noise and whine from interfering with your car
HI-FI.
If you have no HI-FI then you have no requirement ; )
Your high RPM miss may very well be the coil.
See if you can beg, borrow or steal one just for testing.

Message-ID: <COL106-W340D6BDF57C42D3A2C0950AAB90@phx.gbl>

There's a Grand Prix going on near my city of residence (about 4,500 feet
elevation). The local newspaper interviewed the team members for a Porsche 911
GT3 who said their car lost about 30 horsepower at that high of an altitude
(and the summer heat here) even after they tuned the car to altitude. Five
years ago, Keith Williams tuned my carbs at Solvang -- basically at sea level
-- and I've kept them adjusted at around the same specs with apparently no
problems other than a high idle (about 1200-1500 RPM) when I drive up to about
a mile high in the local mountains. But I'm wondering, am I missing out on the
full 96 horses my little four-banger should be getting? If I can find a decent
mechanic at my elevation, are my odds good that he could adjust my carbs
better than Keith did?

Michael,
You can likely get a better tune by leaning it out a bit because if your tune is 
ideal for sea level, you're running too rich at 4500 ft.  But even if you get 
the mixture perfect for 4500 feet elevation, you'll still have less air density 
available, around 15% less than sea level, so you'll only be able to get 85% of 
the power at sea level.  I feel your pain, because I live at 6200 feet, so I 
lose 20% of full power at sea level, verified by my MAP sensor in my ECU for my 
EFI U20.  The only way to get it back is more air density which requires forced 
induction (turbocharging or supercharging).  

Gary

problems other than a high idle (about 1200-1500 RPM) when I drive up to about
a mile high in the local mountains. But I'm wondering, am I missing out on the
full 96 horses my little four-banger should be getting? If I can find a decent
mechanic at my elevation, are my odds good that he could adjust my carbs
better than Keith did?

Al is saying pb5es for SU carbs. I had thought (and read) that pb6es were recommended for our Roadsters. 

Also, in a box of parts I acquired at some point, I found a set of NGK 7es. What is the recommended us of these plugs?

Thanks

Short answer:
The BP5ES is one step hotter, and the BP7ES is one step colder, than the 
recommended plug, BP6ES.

Now how does EI factor into this?  I know the gap is larger.  I have the BP6EY
(Vpower if that makes a difference) plugs on my car with a .040 gap.  Should I
go with a hotter or colder plug in my SU U20?

Yes, the gap is larger for the EI folks. You can use the regular plugs and
regap them larger, or buy them with the -11 extension (example: NGK
BP6ES-11), which  denotes wider gap .042-.044 or 1.1MM, and just install
'em.

I would go hotter or colder depending on how the plugs look.

I wonder if it's not a case of availability. IIRC, Champions were much
more readily available (at least in north Texas) in the late
'60s/early '70s. These days I find it the reverse, plus NGK were/are
the OEM plug. I remember running Champions in our 510s, even in
Hawaii, in the 70s, but I'd usually run a couple of numbers colder for
autocrossing and what road racing we did. I'd follow the same practice
today, but probably with NGKs .

FWIW,
Ron

Craig that is the horn relay.
Terminals should be designated H [Green]for Horn, B [Green/Red or
Green/White depending on your luck]for Battery + and S [Black/Green or Green
depending on the weather]for Switch [horn button].
Press the horn button to check for a ground on the S wire.
Use a test lamp to check for +12V from fuse box on the B wire.
Last one is the wire to the horn[s], the H wire.
Hope this helps; )

 I believe that the U 20 pump has a bigger sized intake but is otherwise the
same, so it will work on the 1600. May even be a little better as a result.

 Can anyone verify this?

How different at the mechanical fuel pumps from the R16 and U20 motors?

I have an NOS pump for the U20 motor, will it work in my 70 1600 or are the
differences too much?

Thanks

What Gary said about air density, etc.

Also, keep in mind that the SU's, because they work on a
variable venturi controlled by air pressure, do a good job of
automatically adapting to changing altitudes.

Since it has been a quiet day out there I thought I would ask for some advice
regarding my engine reassembly.  (67.5 1600).


1.       I am considering removing the cooling hose loop to the heater valve
and just running the outlet on the back of the intake manifold directly to the
pipe that sits on the inside of the heat shield.  My heater fan does not work,
ducts are missing, and I don't plan on driving on days where it will be an
issue.  It would also clean things up a bit.   Are there any issues with this
approach.  BTW I am missing the summer/winder valve assembly and have a cheap
plastic adapter in its place right now - ugly.

2.       I thought I should fill up the block with coolant through the top of
the head before attaching the thermostat housing.  Then follow that up with
filling the radiator once the housing is attached.  That way I don't need to
manually open the thermostat to get the coolant in the block for initial
startup.

I am sure I will have more questions in the following days.  Thanks in advance
for your wisdom.

Chas,

You can put either a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission behind the SR20-series engine, and there is an automatic version as well.

We have done all three into roadsters.

5-speed: Best fit for a roadster-- the shift lever comes through the 1600 shifter hole, the 5-speed hole will need to be modified (easy). There are two versions, a non-turbo (.85 overdrive) and turbo (.75 overdrive). With the dust shield removed, the 4-speed roadster driveshaft's yoke matches the SR20 gear box.

6-speed: A great driver's transmission as it adds an extra gear between 1-5th gear. 6-gear is an .75 overdrive. You will need to modify the X-frame and the transmission tunnel on the right side as the transmission is physically wider and 10mm longer than the 5-speed. The 6-speed uses a unique yoke on the driveshaft (though it is the same as a US-spec 240SX automatic)

Automatic: The automatic requires extensive modifications to the X-frame (we totally rebuild it) and the same modifications to the right side of the transmission tunnel. I would not recommend this modification, but if you are after a cruiser, it might suit your needs.

If you have specific questions, or want more info, feel free to visit us at www.spriso.com for SR20 fitment kits into roadster chassis, and other conversion parts.

They came with either 5 or 6 speed transmissions in Japan. The 5
speeds seem to be more common over here but I know Ted Hedman has a 6
speed in his 510. I'm guessing that Michael Spreadbury would have info
on the ratios. Michael also sells a motor mount kit to simplify the
swap considerably.

If I was going to keep the Roadster I probably do the SR20 swap and
sell the U-20, extra heads and the two 5-speeds I have. Makes a real
nice package. I'll almost certainly do an SR swap into one of my 510s.

1. If you don't need the heater, there is no problem looping the coolant
from the manifold to the return pipe.
As long as the coolant can circulate through the Inlet manifold to reduce
the risk of icing up, all should be well.

2. Most modern thermostats incorporate a burp valve to allow air trapped on
the engine side of the thermostat to bleed up into the top radiator tank. It
is a 2-3mm hole with a small "jiggle Valve" assembled in the hole. If your
thermo. doesn't have this valve you can simply bore a 3mm hole in the themo.
to do the same thing.
You can see the little brass jiggle valve in this pic.
Just orient the valve to the highest part of the housing, usually the very
front.

"1.       I am considering removing the cooling hose loop to the heater

Subject: [Roadsters] New (old) guy introduction
Message-ID: <4C3FDC07.2090509@charter.net>

Hi all,

This is actually a reintroduction of sorts.  My name is Jeff Douglas and 
I was a member of this list a number of years ago.  When I was last 
subscribed I was living in Spokane, WA. and had aspirations of 
rebuilding my '68 1600.  Life got in the way back then and I never even 
really got the rebuild started.  Long story short, I've moved across the 
country to North Carolina, my life is a little less hectic, and I've 
been re-bitten by the Roadster bug.  So, here I am again.

While I'm not to the point of wanting to tear the car completely apart 
(yet), I have been doing some work to get my Roadster back into being a 
somewhat reliable driver.  One thing that I knew needed work was the 
radiator, so I pulled it and will have a local shop give it a going 
over.  Before it goes back into the car, however, I need to replace the 
lower hose.  I read on "Tom's Roadster Page" (www.datsun2000.com) that 
Nissan part B1503-A3303 will fit a 1600, but the site doesn't specify a 
model year.  I was under the impression that the lower hoses changed 
between '68 and '69.  Does anyone know if B1503-A3303 will fit a '68?

Thanks for the help. I learned a ton from this group last time I was a 
member here, so I look forward to hanging around a little longer this 
time and getting to know all of you.

I'm ready to cut up the rotary I built and used for my  1970 2000
restoration. I don't have the room to keep it and am hoping that there's
a mid-western roadster owner who may need it. Please contact me off list
if anyone may be interested. Pictures available upon request.

Having recently removed the sending unit from my '69 2000 while
cleaning out the tank, I saw no way to "adjust" anything there...

The float arm on the tank sender can be bent [slightly] to alter the float
to rheostat wiper relationship thus allowing a full tank to read FULL.
e.g. in your case you want the rheostat wiper to read less resistance on a
full tank so the float arm needs to be bent to lower the float, thus, when
it floats up, it will force the rheostat wiper futher down the resistor,
closer to full voltage.

Sunbrella or sailrite is where I'd start looking. I know sunbrella has some
polka dot fabrics. I'm not sure if it's going to be canvas, though.

Keith,

Can't say that I fully agree. At least not in the past. That's why I asked about the current situation, of which I have no familiarity. However, back in the 60s and 70s, just about everybody with imported cars, plus plenty of American cars too used Champion. Even many Datsun dealers back then did not stock NGK.  I tend to think that back then there weren't any mass production car manufacturers designing engines around any particular plug, usually the other way around, designing engines to use off the shelf parts.

And when it came to racing plugs, there wasn't much choice other than Champion, because of the breath of their product line.  The most common street plugs for roadsters back then were Champion N5 or colder N3, the extended tip versions were N9Y & N6Y.There were radio resistor versions too.  For racing  I & just about everybody else use the recessed electrode N58R or N60R which were very prone to fouling if not careful.  Later we switched to the N2G which had a small platinum electrode and was much more forgiving. BTW, I took all my racing plug recommendations from Sharp. Sorry for the senior reminiscing.

  My opinion has been that you run the plug that came in the car or at least from the same country. That is the plug the engine was designed around. The equivalent plug by a different company is never quite the same. I've talked to several folks who just didn't have good luck with Bosh or Champions in Japanese cars and bikes. Met one guy who claimed he could tell if you had Champions in your bike by the sound, and he could.

 I often shop at   http://rockauto.com/

Their lower hose shows part numbers AC Delco 22070M and a GM number 88907999,
these are both for the 1970 1600's. (I have the parts literally in hand.)

CarQuest shows a 20783 for the lower and 21734 for the upper, again these are
both for the 1970 1600's.

 I am not aware of major differences in the lower hose for the 1600's and
2000's.

(A little bailing wire sure works well to keep the hose away from the
pulleys!)

Since I'm doing a swap to a 5-speed, I don't have any of the mounting bolts
for it.    Does anyone know what length the tranny to block bolts need to be
(I know the plate between is thicker so the bolt may need to be longer).
Also the size of the tranny mount (isolator) to tranny bolt sizes.

Thanks!!

Hey Alvin,
  Since you seem to know a lot of the local roadster guys I will let  you 
spread the word.  I just sold my 1968  solex 2000 roadster.   I have a spare  
2L motor that had low compression in one cylinderr, very  good/great 
roadster 5 spd transmission, almost complete timing gear set which  may or may not 
be in usable condition, set of solex carbs-later model which  probably need 
rebuild, solex manifold, bunch of solex carb parts, new brake  brace, bunch 
of older tonneau covers, old original speaker box, and a ton of  
miscellaneous parts.  I am selling everything and would prefer to sell  local before 
listing on ebay.  I am not working now so anyone can come by  at anytime to 
look at he parts and make an offer.  Please spread the  word.  I would like 
the parts to go to local Roadster folks.
 
located in Fremont, CA
 
Thanks,
David

I have to make a trip to Reno in the next week  to pick up something.  We 
could me somewhere off 80.  Let me gather  up all the parts and see what I 
have and take pics and send them to you.   Maybe someone on the list can 
provide a fair price.  I forget to mention  I also have a custom made soles air 
cleaner housing with the original air  cleaner, some extra velocity stacks, a 
brand new ITG filter if you can get the  mounting panel from Dean and brand 
new carb manifold gaskets.

I might be interested in  the Solex carbs/manifold/parts for a 69 SU
2000 that I've just started to  restore here... Not sure how serious I
want to get into changing it over  - but it might be worth getting them
just in case I lean that way :) As  it is, I have a long ways to go
before it will  matter.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what price those would fetch in a  "need
rebuild" condition, as I only started doing this resto and I'm  still a
bit new to the Roadster scene...

FWIW, I'm in Grass  Valley, CA (50 miles northeast of Sacramento) - a
trip to Fremont would  be a little far, but I might be able to justify
it if you need someone to  pick stuff up directly.

Sounds great :)

Yes, I admit, I'm still just a newb with the Roadsters... but I know
what I absolutely will need:

Brake parts - just about anything - it seems this roadster sat in
storage for 25-30 years and the brake system was completely dry and
rusted up by the time I looked at it.

Rear right quarter panel and possibly a right side door and door post
- the car suffered some severe body damage long before it was given to
me - and it seems this is going to represent most of the repairs I
will need to perform. (picture of the damage if anyone cares:

Engine runs at least.

Gary, I have often thought about a joint run, Portland to Chehalis WA and
Seattle to Chehalis. That way all the costal Northwest could meet up.

Thoughts anyone????

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone for the welcome, and thanks for the ideas regarding 
my lower rad hose.  I went over to 311s.org as Linda suggested, and 
between it looks like they've got the info I need.  For what it's worth, 
I called my Nissan delear about part #B1503-A3303.  It's NLA, so my 
question was sort of moot anyway.

One question.  Dave said "be sure to put a drain plug in the radiator". 
  Sorry for being a noob, but do you mean another drain besides the 
drain & stopcock that's already there?  That's one of the problem issues 
with my rad.  The stopcock stops nothing.

Greg, your name is really familiar. Aren't you a WSU guy?  If we didn't 
meet in person, then I'm sure we've had email conversations in the past. 
  I used to work at North By Northwest Productions right across the 
river from downtown.  Lived near Garland.  There was a shop out in the 
valley that worked on my car a couple of times. Can't remember the 
garage's name off the top of my head, but they always had MG's out 
there.  I'll dig in my files and find a receipt and/or business card and 
get back to you on it.

Thanks again.

Dave,

No worries.  To the best of my knowledge, it's always been there.  The 
car was my Dad's before I got it, but I doubt he put it in.  He knows 
even less about cars than I do, if that's possible.  I'm pretty sure 
that rad has never been touched.

Are there Roadster radiators that don't have drains?  My '68 is the only 
one I've ever had that close of a look at.

I was reading the July 2010 issue of Auto Restorer Magazine and came across
this quote from a 68 MGB original owner. "my wife and I both auto crossed it.
We usually ran with about 15 cars in my class and about 8 in hers. There was a
datsun 2000 in my class and I could beat everybody except him. The only time I
took first was when he didn't show".

Take that MG lovers.

Just thought that was interesting.

We had an MGB GT in family for a while, which had a built motor with a good
cam, weber conversion, etc. and my then stock 1600 could stay right on the
tail of the MG.  With the stroker in it now, I doubt it would be a fair fight.
I liked the MG, but the Datsun always felt like a little race car compared to
it.  Now, I just pick on my brother's modified TR6.

I have a rear sway bar that I would like to give a try does anyone have any pics or can explain to me how it fits. It looks to me like it mounts to the frame via sway bar bushing and there is hardware to attatch it to the leaf springs? I am a little confused about the end link that has the shock bushings and placement.

depending on the type of bar, here is one way to mount it, there are  
several pics from different angles.
I have a pic of the addco bar installed will post later

I wouldn't waste the time and effort to install it.  It causes excessive

I am in the process of installing a Nissan (NOS??) fuel pump. The flow indicating arrows are opposite of the pump I removed from the car. 

Can I reverse the flow to match what the old pump had by swapping the valves that are inside the pump? Or should I just run the fuel lines to what exists on the new pump?

  Is it possible that the valve body and top cover was reversed/rotated 
180 degrees?

May want to check the actual valve direction/operation.

When working the arm of both NOS 1600 fuel pumps, I could feel air coming out of the correctly marked fitting. This just happened to correspond to the intake fitting on the pump I removed from the car. 

If the top is rotated 180 degrees, the arrows are not pointing at anything. As it was when it came out of the box, the arrows WERE correct, just opposite how all my other (used) pumps were marked. 

I opened up one of the new pumps, reversed in the interior valves, and the pumps works like the one removed from the car. 

Nothing like something unexpected to further confuse someone as clueless as I am!!!!!!

Hi Greg,

I was actually talking to Greg Morrison, but it was your story of 
finding your car under a pile of snow that I was recalling.  We had to 
have been at WSU at the same time, as I graduated in '88.  Bet I walked 
by your "pile of snow" at some point while I was there.

Go Cougs.

I second this; It will cause excessive oversteer.  It's a fun learning
exercise though. But spend your time on better brakes. :)
  
I tried a small Addco rear swap bar 20 years ago.  I remade the install
hardware and fit it between the frame and the springs (hoop over the drive
line).  It was a pretty package that indeed made the rear end step out more
than anyone wants.  

It didn't go to waste though. I installed it on the rear of my L20B/SUs/SSS
510 wagon to complement the bigger front bar, a set of stiff KYB shocks &
solid adjustable front A-arm bushings made it handle like it was on rails. I
wish I hadn't sold that car.  It just needed everything else.

I
have a rear sway bar that I would like to give a try does anyone have any
pics
or can explain to me how it fits. It looks to me like it mounts to the frame
via 
sway bar bushing and there is hardware to attatch it to the leaf springs?
I am a 
little confused about the end link that has the shock bushings and
placement.

Subject: [Roadsters] Stupid Radiator question
Message-ID: <4C4CA3E0.7050908@charter.net>

Hi Gang,

Sorry for another know nothing question, but I know nothing, so here we go.

I'm sitting here looking at the petcock from the radiator of my 1600, 
which stops zero fluid.  I'm comparing it to one that I got from the 
parts store (for future reference, HELP! Part #61114 is too small for a 
'68 1600) and the biggest difference is that the original brass petcock 
has got no rubber o-ring on it all all.  It looks as if it might have a 
place for one at the end of the threads, but it sure doesn't have any 
sign of ever having one on it.

So, actually 3 questions...

1. Did the original brass petcocks ever have rubber on them?

2. If not, how did they keep fluids in the radiator?  Thread to thread 
certainly isn't working in my case.

3. If they did originally have an o-ring, and mine came off inside the 
rad, what kind of issues will that cause?

Thanks for indulging me.

KYB's Gr2 - about 15K on them
1) My left front side has developed a squeak. Seems to be the shock. Can one
just lubricate the shaft or is it more likely internal and if so what to do
2) How does one test a shock. I have two spare fronts - when I compress them
one returns more than the other - does this matter -

It was a small meet this year, low attendance,
which is typical for the year

next year will bring more 
roadsters.

We had three visiting from Japan, and a
very nice couple from Australia.

All in all, everyone had a good time.

Hope
to see you next year.   Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 7, 8 & 9.

Hi Steve,

As much as I'd love to make it to the USC game, I'm in North Carolina 
and don't think I'll be getting there.  One of the drawbacks of moving 
out to this part of the country.  No Coug games for me.  Have a good 
time, and pay a visit to The Coug for me.

Yes, the gentleman that owns the S20-powered skyline I took pictures  
of at the Palo Alto concours also has a Z432.

I could be wrong, but I think he has or has recently had these same parts for sale on ebay...with starting prices like $75 apiece on the door glass and over $300 for the early steering wheel...

Subject: [Roadsters] Dropping Oil Pressure at idle
Message-ID: <AANLkTikQYyt4fP0jfZu2oxvVKX-LWVWHCAR9QSD+FHUp@mail.gmail.com>

Just when things are starting to come together, something else shows up.
Such is the nature of our cars.

After successfully (I hope), swapping out for a new larger alternator, I've
noticed that my oil pressure is now dropping when I'm at idle. This is
happening after the engine is warm. When I rev the engine or when I'm
travelling, the pressure returns to normal. I'm pretty sure it is not my oil
gauge since I let it drop until the engine stalled on me. I didn't notice
any knocking, just as the oil pressure drops, the engine gets rougher. I did
also recently replace the oil filter, but haven't changed the oil. Any ideas
on what it could be?

Is my engine wearing down (I hope not)?
Do I need a new oil pressure sending unit?
Do I need a new oil pump?
Do I need to add more oil or a heavier weight (don't think so)?

Thanks all.

Oil pressure ALWAYS drops at idle in almost any vehicle.  That's 
normal.  The motor is spinnning at slower RPMS, and so the pump is 
spinning slower, and thus the pressure drops.  I've never owned a single 
car that didn't have SOME drop between idle and driving speeds.

If it drops REALLY low, then you've got a potential problem.

All that, plus the gauges are known to be highly non-linear on the low 
end of the range.

THe gauge in my car always drops out at idle.  Usually to about 1/4 on the
gauge, but the car never runs rough when this happens.  I was under the
impression that the drop was fine as the engine is not running as fast,
naturally it would drop out.

Can't believe that replacing the alternator affected the oil pressure. 

My experience (my '66 1600, someone else's '66 1600 and '69 2000) is that
the oil pressure gauge reads near zero when warm, and comes up to normal
once past 2k rpm.

I always replace the oil -AND- filter at the same time, never just one or
the other.

  I looked at this model when I was in Japan from 69-72. The cost then 
was 1,100,000 yen, which at 360 yen/dollar works out to about $3050.

Wish I had enough income at the time to buy one, and enough forethought 
to keep it!

Peace,
Pat

Subject: [Roadsters] Cam timing and compression
Message-ID: <20100727.142808.18601.0@webmail10.dca.untd.com>

I have suspected that my cam timing might be off by a notch, so i have played
around a bit with advancing or retarding it. I have a variable +/- 6 degree
sproket that I experimented with. Retarding seem to instantly worsen
performance (lower compression) . From what i belived was correct cam timing,
as I advance the timing up to 6 degress, my previously lower compression
readings of 160 psi rose uniformly. At +6 dgress, the compression had risen to
180.  I got brave and replaced the adjustable sprocket with my orignal
sprocket advanced 1 full tooth (15 degrees i believe with 1 tooth on 24 tooth
sprocket). I confirmed that ther was no valve contact and tested the
compression again. To my pleasant surprise, the compresson came all the way up
to 195 (again unform). Looking at the cam with #1 on TDC, the cam now appears
oriented on #1 more like 11/3 instead of 10/2.

I am assuming that the higher compression means that the cam timing is now
more correct. The engine seems to have more power as it should. I am just a
bit spooked by the cam position and I dont want to damage the engine
otherwise. Can anyone tell me if it is possible that the compression can be
significantly higher if the cam is incorrectly advaned? I have not been able
to find specified normal compression readings for a U20, but I know that a
strong engine is typically around 200.

The only thing that I think could cause the alternator to affect the oil 
pressure at idle would be if the NEW alternator has more "drag" on the 
engine...

 I don't care if he has been to anyone's house. Any and all parts for sale are
welcome as far as I'm concerned, but once every3-4 weeks should cover it for
those who don't check in too frequently.

What's he doing?  Posting every week?  Or every other week? 

Not really a big deal.

 Actually I really like the way he is selling his parts...a nice
straightforward list with a link to a photosite with good quality pics of each
item. As opposed to "email me and I'll tell you if I have what you need" Kind
of like how I've done itLOL
And I'm glad I rechecked because it says he has a glovebox lock which I have
been thinking about adding. Cool.

 I don't care how much he is asking either. Doesn't mean I'm paying.Pricing
stuff is not always easy even if you know the cars like we do. He could be
some guy parting out his deceased grandfathers junker car in the garage,
trying to clean things out. Or maybe he saw the foot rest posted on 311 for
big$$$ and figured OK then. Whatever. He'll find out if he is too high by
whether anyone buys or not. A lot of people think the vendors are too high too
and they don't seem to care.LOL

Hoon,

This is a typical response of many early electrical oil pressure gauges.  My 
'66 1600/'69 U20 oil pressure dros to near zero at idle, and has for as long 
as I have had the motor in the car.  As soon as I "blip" the throttle, the 
pressure comes back.

Dropping oil pressure can mean one of two things; either there is increased
clearance in the bearings caused by engine wear or wearing of the gears in
the oil pump. I am  startled to read you haven't changed oil yet. That
should be the first thing you do.

I am far from an expert and do not know where you live (climate wise) but you should also make sure you are running the correct weight oil for your climate.

T tops, a flame job, and a bigger hood scoop with a blower would have 
made it complete...

I guess the real problem is that my engine starts to stall now with the
pressure dropping. I'm not as concerned about it dropping but what the
engine is doing when it drops. This was not a problem before the alternator
swap.

I think it may have to do with the GM swap and the alternator not kicking in
at idle. I'll have to test it out.

Have you measured the voltage output of the alternator at idle yet?
Preferably you should be getting ~12-14v I would guess... if less
perhaps you're not getting a good spark at idle.

Hoon,

Stalling would only be a result of alternator problems if your battery
is 
discharged.  Lights would be dim at idle if the alternator cuts out, but
the 
engine should not be affected.  And, the alternator swap did not cause
any 
problems with oil pressure unless you poured some sand into the motor
while you 
were at it.  I don't think the stalling is at all related to the
drop in oil 
pressure.  And, if the oil pressure comes right up when to raise
the rpm a bit, 
I wouldn't worry about low oil pressure at idle, as I said in
my original note.

Gary

I guess the real
problem is that my engine starts to stall now with the pressure 
dropping. I'm
not as concerned about it dropping but what the engine is doing 
when it
drops. This was not a problem before the alternator swap. 


I think it may
have to do with the GM swap and the alternator not kicking in at 
idle. I'll
have to test it out.

 I've been driving these little cars for 30+ years. Not an expert, just too
cheep to pay high dollar mechanics.
As for oil pressure at idle, the gauges are not accurate enough to register
what little there is. Some where in the past I read that the guages not
reading at idle was normal as long as the pressure came right up when the
RPM's came up.

The lower idle with a larger alternator may be enough to make this apparent.

This is summer and much hotter (here it is close to hell). During the summer I
typically run 20-50. I did this with one 2000, and now it has 200K+ and the
engine is still strong (the rest of the car is crap ('orange' for those who
know).

My penny's worth.

 If you are really interested in actual(what is "actual"?)  (+-10 psi), buy a
cheapee $15 gauge from Auto Zone or O'Reilly, make up the fittings, run the
line, remove it later.   My MG was sorta close, my Mustang was, eh eh....My
F350 was close to "normal".  If it don't seize, probably OK.....oh, damn, did
I actually type all that?  My apologies, in advance....

I just put a new set of Panasport 15 x 6 wheels on my '69 2000, and I went
with 205/50 R15 Falken Azenins r615 tires.  This is strictly a summer tire
as I understand.  The sidewall is extremely stiff.  Had to put over 80
pounds of air in to get the bead to pop on the rim.  Almost feels like it
has power steering now.

I think Les Cannaday at Classic Datsun in Vista, California, repairs them. 
Also check with Dean Apostal at datsunparts.com.  Both are very

Gary's advice sounds very good, it's very thin metal and has been fatigued,
so it's not the easiest thing to weld.  Might even be available as an

Hey Gordon,

 

I am in need of a good mechanic for my Datsun Roadster, may have a bad head
gasket.  Can you suggest one in the area.  I live in Weed, Ca (very close to
Mt Shasta).

 

Thank you,

Celeste

Hey guys and gals,

I may have told you once, but I have the best wife, ever!
She got a gift certificate for me to take the Skip Barber 1-Day Racing School
for my Christmas present.  Well, Thursday was the day at Road America in
Elkhart Lake, WI.

I can't stop smiling.  My face hurts so bad, but I just can't stop.  That was
seriously the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on.  Better than some of
the times I had with my clothes off... (That's what she said.  Baa Bum Bumm)

We spent an hour or so in the classroom, then out to the track.  The first
half of the day was driving the MX-5, and after lunch we were driving the open
wheel Formula car.  We were sharing the track with a corporate event with
Car&Driver and some other publications.  The upside was this meant we got to
use the full RA course.  The last session of the day was the full RA course,
on our own in the Formula car.  Top speed is about 125mph, but with your butt
2 inches off the ground, it feels like 200.  Of course, boys will be boys and
I spun out in turn 6 going in a little hot my first lap.

I would love to do the 3 Day Racing School, but then I have to decide whether
to drive the MX-5 or the Formula car.  Decisions, decisions, decisions...

If you ever get the chance, you need to do this.

I'll post some photos and some in-car video once I get them.

that sounds like great fun!  i did the 3 day and 2 day skip barber courses at 
laguna seca, and it was a great thrill.  


$.02 = i have to say though, if i had a choice right now, i would buy a nice 
used vintage race car for what those 5 days cost.  racing is one expensive 
hobby.

 What is the cost on something like that? Sounds like fun.
